Conservatives Are Turning Against FAUX News

[LAGC]

Megyn Kelly and FAUX News Facebook pages getting hammered right now.

FreeRepublic is up in arms: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3321643/posts

I'm sure Rush Limbaugh will be joining the fray tomorrow as well.

Rupert Murdoch thought he was in control of his brood, but he let loose a Frankenstein monster.

Donald Trump IS going to run third party when he gets shoved out of the race by the GOP Establishment.

We're looking at another 1996 situation folks. Democratic electoral landslide worse than Clinton v. Dole.

[lovuian]

1. I have to agree Faux fell flat on its face

it came to bury Trump and it buried itself .......He knew they weren't going to play fair
so he threatened them with his Independent run

Bush and Walker were suppose to be the winners but Faux screwed up royally

[pamela]

2. I was just going to post this.

Wingnuts are furious. There are over 10,000 comments on the Fox Facebook page and every single one is some version of "You were mean to Trump!!! You suck!!!" Megyn Kelly has 5000 comments on her page-same thing.

I'm no Trump fan (understatement of the year) but right out of the gate I said to my husband, "I don't believe they ambushed him like that. They're trying to take him out." I mean, I figured they would do that but not so blatantly. I think (I hope, I hope) it's going to backfire.

I love the smell of furious wingnut in the morning. Smells like victory.

[MADem]

8. I am going to be a cynic, and wonder how many of those poutraged posters are paid by The Donald. nt

[SusanaMontana41]

24. LOL! Well, you've been right many times before! n/t

[Raster]

29. I dunno, I smell the rank odour of wingnut rage wafting through the air.

And in their ugly, empty, dark little hearts they suspect that Faux has been treating them just like the mindless dolts they truly are--and they are RESENTFUL. And they are angry.
"The Donald" is the perfect pitiful, bleached-blond, comb-over topping to their shit sunday.

[riversedge]

9. uummmm Walker is DOWN>

[AllyCat]

12. I despise him so much

This is one poll that makes me happy

[riversedge]

27. 1+

[onyourleft]

34. Let us...

...hope this continues. With the Koch money behind him, he is the one who frightens me the most.

[840high]

13. Wheeeee!

[JustAnotherGen]

23. Christie at the bottom!

Li live it when my Governor participates in a debate and ends up at the bottom!

[ericson00]

57. its almost sad

because the GOP needs a Bill Clinton of their own but their heads are too far up their asses to realize that.

[melman]

4. After Bush and Palin

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by anything that appeals to Republicans...but I am really surprised by this Trump popularity.

It's nuts.

[rufus dog]

7. After Palin I decided two things

You can't over estimate the general vileness and stupidity of Republicans.

[napi21]

5. OH, how I hope you're right!

I'm not a Trump fan either, but I know he's no schmuck who would just roll over for these idiots. They failed to recognize just how much power Trump has to retaliate. Rupert isn't used to losing and it will be fun to watch this battle play out.

[tblue37]

14. It's Ailes who is running the FOX political show. nt

[ericson00]

56. we don't even know anymore

I bet one of them splits off and joins with Drudge or Breitbart guys to form a "Fairer and Balanceder" station.

[davidn3600]

6. Careful....

He might not get shoved out. If he's the nominee there is a chance he could win.

Never say never. There is a chance Hillary could stumble. No one can predict the future. Politics is weird sometimes.

[murielm99]

11. Yes.

I laughed at Reagan. Look at what happened.

The rich SOBs screwed up when they set the tea party loose on everyone. They could not control it. Now they have politicians and candidates like Trump, who are too loony for them, uncontrollable, and turning on them.

Trump will not be used by them. He is no more controllable than their tea party. If he does not get what he wants, he will wreck everything in sight.

I worry that he might win. Or, this might be a time when the women's vote will save us. Women cannot possibly like Trump. He is very open about seeing women as objects. (Maybe Rosie O'Donnell can be Hillary's veep)?

What these angry Trump supporters do not see is that they are angry about the wrong things and the wrong people. They vote against their own interests. They hate immigrants and black people, when the white banksters are the ones they should be turning against. We have all lost the same things, and we should be working against the repubbies and the people like Trump.

[Adrahil]

40. You shouldn't have though...

He had already been a two-term governor of California, and was a thought leader in the GOP. He was never the outsider-clown Trump is.

[murielm99]

43. I was young.

My family has always been politically active, though. I remember my dad told me to be afraid, not to laugh at Reagan.

But then, Jimmy Carter came out of nowhere. I loved him, and I still do. But I think a lot of people voted for Carter because of Watergate, not because of what a good man he was.

[appalachiablue]

51. I didn't see it coming, was shocked and devastated when Dutch beat Carter.

That's what being young and busy will do, while a student and working in DC no less. Right after the election we saw Carter and his group come into the theater at an 'Amadeus' performance. Everyone stood up and applauded. I'll never forget that or the swarm of Texans in minks and limos that arrived for the Inaugural. Dark, dark times.

[SusanaMontana41]

25. Everyone laughed at Reagan in 1976. ((shudders))

You just took all of the air out of my party balloon.

And we were off to such a good start, too.

[moonscape]

33. With the edge the democrats have going in,

and the reality (sorry Trump) that Hispanics are not going to vote for him, this is way crazier than Reagan (and I was so terrified of Regan that it was 6 months of my life I was a registered Republican so I could vote against him in his primary...)

Some republican advisor of Reagan's I think it was, recently said the best thing for the Republican party would be for Trump to get the nomination. He would be trounced, but it would bring the Republican Party back from the fringe, the same way the trouncing of Goldwater did.

What I'm most afraid of, is that Trump is the only one Hillary can beat because he's the only one with the high negatives she's suffering from. And, he won't get the nomination.

[LAGC]

42. Welcome to DU!

I'm not a big fan of Hillary, but I think she'll have no problem beating any one of these clowns so far.

She's still ahead of even Jeb by 10 points, and that's before Trump goes third party and sucks 20% of the conservative vote away from the GOP.

2016 is ours to lose.

[moonscape]

44. Oh I hope you're right, and

thanks for the welcome. This will be my refuge to get talked down off the ledge as the season goes on

[joshcryer]

54. This is an interesting point.

But they will still have local politics even if there's a shake up nationally.

[joshcryer]

53. Only chance is tragedy.

Something happens to the Democratic nominee.

Trump can't beat the Democratic nominee unless something really bad happens.

You can bet the SS team will be doing double time.

[Sunlei]

10. Angry hobbits, bit the hand$$ who fed them for so long & raise up the King of the Birthers

as Leader of the Republican party. Time for Trump to start a free to view, TV station to gather up all those viewers.

[No Vested Interest]

15. I can't understand what Republicans see in Carson.

Many of those interviewed afterwards - by Luntz and on CNN- were so taken with Carson.

I have to admit I missed his closing statement - I just had to take a break from all the vacuous statements being made- but saw nothing to recommend him up to that point.

[JHB]

28. He plays excellent Buzzword Bingo

He talked as if he gets all his information from Fox & Friends, so considering the audience...

[Person 2713]

46. At one point he listed surgically separating Siamese Twins as proof he'd make a good POTUS

[No Vested Interest]

47. Wasn't that ridiculous? I see no skills in Dr. Carson that would

recommend him as head of the Executive branch of the US government and Commander-in-chief of the military.

[Person 2713]

58. But he has a book to sell! His comment came right after Cruz said when POTUS he will

have as a priority to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem . It was a double hit of nutter

[Contrary1]

16. Hilarious...do they really think Megyn Kelly decided what the questions would be?

Morons...all of them.

[LittleBlue]

17. The Luntz focus groups was the worst example of a hit job

I've seen since Kerry and the media's indulgence of the Swift Boaters.

There really is no difference between Faux and state-controlled papers in China and Russia.

[ericson00]

18. this could be Fox's undoing

bc if this primary truly goes awry, then they will pay the price for 20 years of self-serving choir-preaching

[Betty Karlson]

19. Hoisted on their own petards. eom

[Elwood P Dowd]

20. I clicked on that link and found a 1997 message board

occupied by 1897 Klan members.

[Skittles]

21. anyone else wonder how ANYONE sends money to that piece of shit Freak Republic site?

IT HAS *NEVER* EVOLVED (yes, I know, neither has its fans)

[SusanaMontana41]

26. I've not been. What the hey. I'm up for a peep show. n/t

[ladyVet]

59. Well, of course not! They don't believe in evolution. nt

[Kablooie]

22. Maybe we'll see a new Lipton news channel soon.

[Ilsa]

30. They think there is no war on women because

Megyn Kelly is paid well. Geez. Talk about irrational and limited thinking.

[LAGC]

31. They're straight up bonkers.

The crazy train has left the station, and "The Donald" is at the helm.

[Adrahil]

32. My favorite is the guy...

Who refers to the candidates as "contestants" as if it were a goddammed reality show. Hilarious!

[romanic]

35. Wait

I thought republicans hated Trump for trolling the GOP, now they're up in arms in his defense? Boy the Right sure do love to play in the mud eh? lol

[DFW]

36. True conservatives never were for Fox Noise

They just hijacked the term to mean "Republican," but today, Fox Noise caters to right wing extremists--if there's a genuine conservative among them, it is purely by coincidence.

[Stellar]

37. Whoa!!!!

The name calling, the attacks, wow. Just wow!

[restorefreedom]

38. i dared to peek on fr last night

they were ballistic. about 95% were all for trump, the rest were mostly for cruz. they slammed megan hard and fox.

a complete revolt....

[romanic]

41. IKR?

[IMG][/IMG]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My reaction when I lurked on that thread, it is glorious.

[Stellar]

39. There were a lot of guys in the audience at that 'debate'.

A lot of testosterone, a whole lot of testosterone that's running that party. I'm sure that's one of the Republic0ns biggest problems. I'm sure they loved watching Megyn getting her behind beaten too.

[Arugula Latte]

45. It is amazing how much that base runs on anger, hate, misogyny, and the need to

pound their chests and wave their dicks. These rabid rightwing men are obviously insecure but feel entitled to be the ones who are regarded as Superiors at all times. They think they deserve automatic deference because they have the combination of penis + white skin.

Sicking, horrible people -- and there are millions of them.

[Dawson Leery]

48. Fox "News" (The Number One Channel in Fascism)

thought they were so smart with that first question asking about loyalty to the eventual nominee. Between that, Kasich's bulls**t about gay marriage, and Frank Luntz's focus group, Fox is going all out to get a nominee that could win (if not, at least allow them to steal the 2016 election).

[Liberal In Texas]

49. Fox knows exactly what they're doing.

They're managing the repuke primary and then they'll go after the general.

They want Walker. Mark my words. This first one was just prologue.

I truly hope that they underestimate the Trumpster, and he runs as 3rd party.

Then game over...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

50. This is awesome

FAUX knows Trump is a disaster for the party in a general election, and they showed their ass how badly they want him out.

[sub.theory]

52. My thoughts exactly

This is awesome. Won't be long until they are eating each other alive. Popcorn.

[ericson00]

55. I hope he doesn't go third party

because not only would Hillary lose some votes, tho a lot less than a GOP nominee, but enough to keep her under the mythical tho meaningless "50% of the vote" and once again rob the Clintons of the mandates that Bill was robbed of by Ross Perot, even tho Perot, unlike Trump, never drew more from Republican candidates for Pres than from Clinton (the Perot-myth has been debunked time and time again, especially recently. I expect sooner or later it should be as rare on progressive sites as the Perot-truth is on con sites). Point is we don't need any delegitimization against our Presidents, be they named Obama or Clinton.

Hillary leads all the GOP candidates anyway if a 3rd party is not in the race, much as Bill led Bush Sr. heavily for the part of 1992 when Perot was gone, tho by not as huge margins but a win is a win. The kind of margins she has against Jeb now are much bigger than MoE and thus would turn into well over 50% after the election. She can beat Bush on her own too, if his performance the other night was his best.

I think tho enough of the GOP buys into the Perot-myth to start being nice to Trump, especially if the discord between the base and Fox continues to get out there. When Rush is at odds with Fox, things aren't good for the GOP. Hillary would beat Trump far worse than she would beat a Republican with Trump as a Nader type. But then again, few but some people in the GOP know that the Perot-myth is just that, and there could be some who figure Clinton will win anyway, so why not keep her under 50% if the GOP loses no matter what, and ruin her mandate.
